PHP Help! Someone please help me

LimitLess · 05-12-2004

hey people iam currently designing v2 of my site and am using PHP technology. anyways, i am using the <? include ($) ?> code that lets u embedd html and other pages within that tag and that works great for my main page for the content.

so anyway here is where the problem comes in, i have a shoutbox to the left of the main content and i don't want to include it in its slice with an iframe so what I am asking is that is there a way that i can include the shoutbox file without it being in an iframe.

i tried to use the <? include (' ') ?> which is an unchangable code that embeds a specified html page but it didnt work because the shoutbox is a php file.

any ideas anyone?

So you are wanting to include a shoutbox without an iframe, but not have it stretch on forever, explain your problem in more detail.

I know what your talking about, but I don't know how to achieve it . I wanted the same thing for a sife of mine a while back but never did really get it. Good luck though.

Hmmm, that's strange limitless - I had absolutely no problem integrating a PHP shoutbox into a PHP website via includes in Biorust v2. I used the following command:

<?php include("http://biorust.com/shoutbox/viewshoutbox.php");?>

Maybe you just need to alter the code of the shoutbox? I had to heavily hack the webfroot shoutbox to display correctly, simply because the include changed its path to biorust.com instead of biorust.com/shoutbox/ where its other components were to be found...

It should work just fine. HmMmmmm. Have you had a look at the scripts to see if there is a definable cause there? And what scripts are you using? I can offer you my madly hacked version of the Webfroot shoutbox if you really need it...

yes please do that. i would be most grateful

Here ya go then m8. Don't forget that these are just the files for the program - you'll need to set up the mysql database details and the actual database structure yourself (just install webfroot shoutbox as normal and then overrwrite with my changes).

I might have to look into that when it comes time for me to put a shoutbox on my site.

Well, just go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=30306, download the 2.33 package, and follow the install instructions in that - its all pretty basic. Then, when its working, overwrite the files (not the database) with my hacked files. Simple.

I could send you a .SQL structure file, but installing that is much more complex than just following the above instructions if you have no idea what's going on...
